ESPN’s Lakers Prediction For 2024-25 NBA Season

The Los Angeles Lakers were expected to make some big moves during the 2024 NBA offseason. Ultimately, they ended up unable to actually recruit anyone of note.

As a result, they will run it back this coming season with pretty much the same roster as last year – plus Bronny James.

Anthony Davis’ recent assessment of Bronny was telling.

This week, ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst offered his prediction for the Los Angeles Lakers’ likeliest ceiling ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season.

“I actually think the Lakers are relatively easy to predict,” Windhorst said.

“I think they’re probably headed for the play-in, which was where they were last year. They got roughly the same team coming back. We’ll see with Health. And last year (Anthony Davis) and LeBron (James) actually had two extremely Healthy seasons. I don’t think it’s possible for them to play more Games than they did last year if you’re looking at it honestly.”

Will Windhorst’s prediction prove accurate? Time will tell.
